"A Very Dialog Driven Film" The setting of this film takes place in the heart of Boston. You can def tell because of the strong accents from most of the characters. Like always I think this film had more hype than what was brought to the table for this film. I agree that Ben Affleck is better behind the scenes rather than being an actor. I have to disagree that his brother Casey was good in this film. I don't think he should have played his role in this. Most of the time he just isn't there and you can't understand him with his strong accent. The guy cannot act and should "STOP" now. "Morgan Freeman" who is like in every movie couldn't save this film along with "Ed Harris". This film needed more action and suspense. It was more like a crime drama you would see on tv minus the profanity thats lurking everywhere. Besides that not enough story to back up for it to become a smash hit... and WTF was up with the Masked Guy scene??? I did though like how it all came together in the end.2star
